Associations of self-reported obstructive sleep apnea with cognition and dementia risk in cognitively unimpaired middle-aged adults
Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a potential risk factor for cognitive impairment and dementia; however, its contribution in midlife and interactions with APOE ε4 remain unclear. Methods: Participants were 2795 cognitively unimpaired, middle-aged adults enrolled […]
Lower dopamine D2/3 receptor availability is associated with worse verbal learning and memory in people who smoke cigarettes
Introduction: Tobacco smoking is a major public health burden. The mesocortical dopamine system-including the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC)-plays an important role in cognitive function. Dysregulated dopamine signaling in dlPFC is associated with cognitive deficits such as […]
A phase 1b/2a multicenter study of the safety and preliminary pharmacodynamic effects of selective muscarinic M 1 receptor agonist HTL0018318 in patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease
Introduction: This study examined the safety and pharmacodynamic effects of selective muscarinic M1 receptor orthosteric agonist HTL0018318 in 60 patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease (AD) on background donepezil 10 mg/day. Methods: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled 4-week […]
Procedural learning, declarative learning, and working memory as predictors of learning the use of a memory compensation tool in persons with amnestic mild cognitive impairment
Persons with amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment (aMCI) are at risk for experiencing changes in their daily functioning due to their memory impairment. The Memory Support System (MSS), a compensatory calendaring system, was developed to support functional […]
